What Is Normal

Author Dana Redricks

In a world that questions what is normal, where conformity seems to guide the way, do we strive to fit in and forget our spirit, or do we embrace our unique display?

For what is normal but a mold to conform to, a shape, a pattern we must replicate? But what’s normal for them may not be for you, each of us is uniquely fashioned, no duplicate.

In God’s design, we’re crafted with precision, with colors, gifts, and talents all our own, no two souls alike, each one a rare edition, a masterpiece in flesh and spirit, brightly shone.

So let us break the chains that try to bind us, and celebrate our wonderful diversity, for it is in our differences, we find true beauty, and in embracing them, we set ourselves free.

So do not long to be what others strive for, embrace the whisper of your soul within, for there’s no greater joy than being authentic, living true to who you are, unbound, unchained.

So let us stand together, hands intertwined, in awe of God’s creation, marveling at the view, for what is normal is a question in all time, and it’s up to us to redefine, renew.
